Blind and heavily traveled intersections should be approached and crossed only after

• A. Coming to a Complete Stop
• B. Maintaining a Slow Speed
• C. Proceeding with Caution Without Stopping
• D. Honking and Crossing

Answer: (A)

Stopping completely before a blind and heavily traveled intersection is essential because your view of cross traffic is obstructed, and you can’t reliably judge gaps or speeds from the other side. By coming to a full stop, you give yourself the time to look carefully in all directions, check for pedestrians or other hazards, and only proceed when the way is clear and you have a safe opening to cross. Merely slowing down or proceeding with caution doesn’t guarantee safety when you can’t see approaching traffic, and honking or rushing through is unsafe and not appropriate.
